username username password [encryption-type] password

– encryption-type: species how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.

* 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.

* 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the encrypted password from the

conguration of another Dell Networking system.

Conguring the Enable Password

Access EXEC Privilege mode using the enable command. EXEC Privilege mode is unrestricted by default. Congure a password as

a basic security measure.

There are two types of enable passwords:

• enable password stores the password in the running/startup conguration using a DES encryption method.

• enable secret is stored in the running/startup conguration in using a stronger, MD5 encryption method.

Dell Networking recommends using the enable secret password.

To congure an enable password, use the following command.

• Create a password to access EXEC Privilege mode.

CONFIGURATION mode

enable [password | secret] [level level] [encryption-type] password

– level: is the privilege level, is 15 by default, and is not required

– encryption-type: species how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not required.

* 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.

* 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a DES hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the

conguration le of another Dell Networking system.

* 5 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using an MD5 hash. Obtain the encrypted password from the

conguration le of another Dell Networking system.

Conguration File Management

Files can be stored on and accessed from various storage media. Rename, delete, and copy les on the system from EXEC Privilege

mode.

Copy Files to and from the System

The command syntax for copying les is similar to UNIX. The copy command uses the format copy source-file-url

destination-file-url.

NOTE: For a detailed description of the copy command, refer to the

Dell Networking OS Command Reference

• To copy a local le to a remote system, combine the le-origin syntax for a local le location with the le-destination syntax for a

remote le location.

• To copy a remote le to Dell Networking system, combine the le-origin syntax for a remote le location with the le-destination

syntax for a local le location.
